Comparing Trubisky to Cutler

This was my message to all of you guys weeks and weeks ago.

 

Let's face it if Mitch starts playing at a high level with consistency we are absolutely a Super Bowl favorite RIGHT NOW. Not next year not in 2020, now. If he continues this inconsistent pattern, we could be one and done in the playoffs.

 

Can't argue with that. As good as the defense has been and can be for a while considering the ages of the most of the key players....Mitch holds the key to everything.

 

I got your point BWW I just think some of us want to lock that part of history into a box and kick it to the curb.
Remember how irritated Aggie got when anyone mentioned Jerry Angelo?
Embrace the here and now we earned this shit.

 

Indeed it was, and most of us haven't forgotten, and the smarter bears fans still proceed with this mentality.

Everything until "Jay is a measuring stick for Mitch" I agree with. If you want to explicitly look at stats and draw the conclusion that Mitch's floor could be Jay's ceiling, sure. Have at it.

I want Mitch to be the best damn quarterback this franchise has ever seen to the point we forget that Jay Cutler is this franchise's best quarterback in its century-long history and frankly how sad that realization is.

But objectively? I just don't see how you can draw that conclusion because it doesn't tell the whole story. Too many factors are not taken into account based off of just stat lines. Mitch has an elite defense on the rise, Jay had the tail end of our last elite defensive unit in a dated defensive scheme and then the sad decline, where we found out Lance Briggs was fat and lost without 54 telling him what to do. Mitch gets a seemingly gimme game against the Packers, a team in sharp decline. Jay had to play against them when they were winning 12+ games and Aaron Rodgers was in his prime years, uninjured, and they had a real team, not just a team that scraped by, keeping it just close enough and hope Rodgers gets the last possession.

The Packers went 15-1 in 2011. If they were that good now, and the bears were still solid with the same team and record now, I guarantee you we'd all be a lot more harsh on Mitch. Because the Packers in this 'what if' are better.

Mitch has an offensive coach who understands modern NFL game, where college is trending, and unlike Jay's day (and all quarterbacks prior to him) where offensive scheme makers try to make the player fit the scheme, Nagy is probably the first coach this franchise has ever seen that is making his offense blend to Mitch, not the other way around. <--And that, is one thing we've never discussed about Nagy nor his success here, and it needs to be. Nagy isn't afraid of shotgun/movement/college offense and how to make it work at the pro level.

To play your 'what if' game, how would Mitch look under Trestman? How about Ron Turner? Aaron Kromer? Mike Tice? Mike Martz? Adam Gase I'll give you would be the one guy I concede in this farce of an argument that I believe Mitch could/would be successful under, but at a limited stretch. Gase has a clue. The other guys? Stuck to their schemes, damn the personnel.

This team, Nagy, the playcalling, its so different. This team is no longer in the fucking stone age offensively.

Again, this is the kind of shit idiots like Steven A Smith and Skip Bayless annoyingly pontificate over. The conversation they want you to see, not the entire picture, because they're too busy being loud douchebags screaming the same half-baked point.

Isn't that one of the reasons we keep Baby around? Sorry Baby......

 

Say what?????
